Three Kingdoms

During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Yan took Jicheng as its capital.

This area of ​​Ji City has abundant water and grass, so it was named Ji City, but now the entire area around Ji City has turned into a huge battlefield.

To the west of the battlefield were Bu Dugen's troops, and to the east of the battlefield were Ke Bineng's troops. The two troops were like two big clamps of a crab, tightly clamping Jicheng in the center.

Because they did not encounter any resistance, the Xianbei troops spread out widely, as if they didn't care about Yuan Xihui's surprise attack in Jicheng...

Yuan Xi gritted his teeth, he really didn't dare to send people out for a sneak attack.

Although the Xianbei Group Army's attack posture on the entire Jicheng was relatively loose, Yuan Xi, who was stationed in Jicheng, still did not dare to leave the city easily to attack. After all, after the successive battles between Youzhou and Jizhou, the consumption of war horses was so great that the number of war horses has dropped sharply. Even Yuan Xi, the governor of Youzhou, can't get many war horses in Jicheng. Come, but Yuan Xi does not have the courage to fight the Xianbei brigade with just two legs.

Yan Rou led a group of Xianbei under the city.

Yan Rou originally inherited Liu Yu's kindness, but Liu Yu was killed by Gongsun Zan. Yan Rou felt that she did not have enough strength to avenge Gongsun Zan, so she turned to seek the power of the Wuhuan people whom she said she was familiar with, and the Wuhuan people were Once, Yan Rou also followed Xianbei Kirby to march together. Naturally, Yan Rou had no choice but to come along.

But Yan Rou discovered that there are actually different factions among the Xianbei people...

This may also be an opportunity.

However, we have to pass this hurdle first!

Yan Rou flew up and quickly climbed up the ladder. Then, she let one side of her body pass the spear thrust by a city guard, and slashed it down the city wall with one knife.

Seeing that Yan Rou had climbed onto the city wall, the Xianbei people below the city suddenly let out a fanatical cry, braving the arrows and rolling stones of the Jicheng defenders like a tide, eagerly climbing the ladder in an attempt to Climb over the city wall as fast as possible, just like the neighbor Lao Wang who knows that the other person's husband is no longer home...

More Xianbei soldiers climbed over the city wall, tore apart the defenders' defensive points one after another, and gradually occupied a long defensive area of ​​the city wall.

Yan Rou waved his sword, and after ensuring the safety of a section of the defensive surface, he did not immediately break through along the city wall, because he knew that this was just a temporary back and forth pull, and it did not mean that Jicheng could be captured directly. He had lived and studied here before, so he naturally knew that Jicheng was not easily captured...

As for the excited Xianbei soldiers who followed Yan Rou, they were indispensable for their success in climbing the city today. As for the others, haha, I don’t care whether they live or die!

Up and down the city wall, corpses of soldiers from both sides were lying in various postures. They could be seen everywhere. Even the top of the city wall, which was about three feet high, was almost filled with corpses. The ground was covered with a thick layer of blood, and the fluttering snowflakes tried their best to cover up these chaotic colors with their bodies, but they were soon dyed red by more blood sprayed everywhere...

The soldiers on both sides were like a group of madmen who had lost their minds. They were covered in blood, with their blood-red eyes wide open. They roared crazily, waved their bloody weapons, and rushed forward again and again, died, and rushed forward again and again. Die again.

Zhang Nan was like a furious bison at this time. His facial muscles became abnormally distorted because of hatred, and his eyes seemed to spit out hot flames. This was his hometown. No matter what his considerations were, he Xianbei people are not allowed to get involved here.

"Kill!" Zhang Nan roared with his sword and fought fiercely at the forefront of the battlefield, blocking the impact of the Xianbei soldiers.

Jiao Chu led the reinforcements and rushed up the city wall from the Chi Road.

"Form up, form up immediately..." Jiao Chu shouted loudly while directing the soldiers to quickly counterattack towards the area that had been occupied by Xianbei soldiers.

The disorderly Xianbei soldiers were like the tide rushing on the rocks in front of the arrayed defenders. Although they pushed some small stones, they could not shake the solid rocks and could only leave some blood slumped. The waves retreated...

"Woooo..."

As this wave of Xianbei people were defeated, the horn of retreat was finally blown from the city. The low sound of horns spread throughout the countryside, seeming to tell tiredly that the day's siege had come to an end.

The guards on the city wall killed the last Xianbei soldier, and then they all raised their weapons and shouted loudly, expressing their heartfelt joy that at least they had survived for this day.

…………………………

Panting, Han Yan walked into the government office lobby in Jicheng and said loudly: "Your Majesty! We are guarding! We are guarding! Xianbei has withdrawn!"

Yuan Xi exhaled slightly, put down the pen in his hand, and moved his already stiff fingers. The pen and ink have long been frozen stiff, and there are no words written on the paper spread on the table. Yuan Xi's posture is just to show that he can talk and laugh freely among the soldiers like his father. That’s all.

"How is the damage?" Yuan Xi asked Han Yan as he motioned for him to sit down.

"Colonel Zhang is making statistics and will report it soon." Han Yan cupped his hands and said, "It is Youzhou's blessing that you can make your weight as light as it is and be calm and measured!"

Yuan Xi waved his hand and said with a smile: "This is nothing... The weather is very cold, and Zipei needs to worry more about food and clothing for the soldiers in the city..."

Han Yan nodded in agreement and said, "This is the position of a lower official, so please reassure me."

Not long after, Zhang Nan also came over, covered in blood.

"How's the loss today?" Yuan Xi didn't mind the filth on Zhang Nan's body. Instead, he went to greet him personally, then took Zhang Nan's arm and asked softly.

Zhang Nan was quite touched when he saw that Yuan Xi didn't mind that he was covered in blood. However, thinking of the tragedy today, he couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "Report to the envoy, Yan Gongcao... was killed in battle... Erlang suffered nearly a hundred losses. There are still more than 20 people seriously injured, and they may not be able to survive..."

Yuan Xi remained silent for a long time before letting out a long sigh.

"In the past few days, we have suffered a total loss of more than 700 people. The west gate and east gate have suffered the greatest losses... In addition, I saw Xianbei troops seeming to be moving southward..." Zhang Nan frowned and said uneasily.

Han Yan's expression changed drastically and he shouted out loud: "What does Xianbei want to do? Could it be that he wants to cross Jicheng and go south?!"

Zhang Nan hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously: "Could it be... Could it be that General Yuan is here to help?"

Unlike Ji County, Yuan Xi was busy integrating the industries left by Gongsun Zan after arriving in Jicheng. Therefore, the Xianbei people easily obtained a large amount of supplies from other surrounding counties and villages. These supplies naturally ensured that despite the severe cold, The Xianbei people can still sleep in the wild without fear, while Jicheng can only defend it hard.

Yuan Xi was overjoyed at first, but then quickly turned to worry, saying: "If it were really reinforcements, I'm afraid the Xianbei people would have been ready to retreat. Now it seems more like going south to plunder the surrounding areas..."

Zhang Nan lowered his head and said nothing.

"It doesn't matter..." Yuan Xi Zhanyan forced a smile and said, "The reinforcements are almost here as expected. We just stick to waiting for reinforcements... and rely on the two of you to work together to tide over the difficulties..."

Han Yan and Zhang Nan quickly accepted and then retreated.

After leaving the lobby, Zhang Nan raised his hands to Han Yan and turned around to leave, but Han Yan stopped him and said, "Captain Jiao...how is it?"

Jiao Chu was not injured, but his hometown is located in Liangxiang, south of Jicheng. The city is small and the defense is weak. Of course, it may not be captured immediately by the Xianbei people, but it will inevitably encounter some disasters...

Zhang Nan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Han Yan was silent for a moment, patted Zhang Nan's arm, and sighed. People like them from Youzhou actually don’t have many choices, do they?

…………………………

"Jicheng is a bait. Before the prey comes, the bait must be hung on the hook..." Ke Bi Neng waved his greasy hands and said vaguely while chewing on the leg of lamb.

Fu Luohan said with some dissatisfaction: "There are not many defenders in Jicheng, it could have been captured long ago... My brave generals have already boarded the city twice, but the follow-up troops are insufficient... I say King Youxian , isn’t this wasting our son in vain..."

Kebineng glanced at Yan Rou who was munching below, laughed loudly, pointed at Yan Rou, and shouted loudly: "How could I treat the warrior so badly? Come here, get some more wine and meat! Go pick two more Beautiful Han woman, send it to the warrior’s tent!”

Fu Luohan's expression changed and he turned to glare at Yan Rou.

Yan Rou pretended not to know, and immediately touched her chest and saluted: "Thank you, King Youxian!"

Suddenly, a group of middle-level and high-level Xianbei people all congratulated Yan Rou, and they laughed and made noises for a while.

Fu Luohan kept a straight face, picked up the wine bowl and drank a few sips, then reluctantly turned his face around.

"Hahaha!" Kebineng laughed, squinted his eyes, and glanced at Fu Luohan slightly, feeling quite disdainful in his heart. Money women are nothing! So what if you drag them all into your tent? Rewards are needed when rewards are due, otherwise no matter how many lowly warriors there are, they will still be disengaged!

"Looking at the weather like this, the snow will get heavier and heavier..." Fu Luohan temporarily put Yan Rou's plan on his notebook and said to Ke Bineng, "If it keeps raining like this... drag it on and be careful to cause trouble. !”

"Don't worry..." Ke Bi Neng smiled, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "The prey will take the bait... Do you know what wolves do when they hunt bison on the grassland?"

Kebi Neng held up the bones of the mutton leg and drew a circle in the air, and said: "The bison will form a circle with their horns facing outward. At this time, it is like this Ji City in front of you. It is either impossible or impossible to capture it. It will consume a lot of money... so you have to keep turning in circles, and then wait for the cows to move... As long as the cows start to move, there will definitely be a flaw!"

Fu Luohan still didn't believe Ke Bineng's words and said, "How are you sure that reinforcements will come? What if they don't come, or don't come here and go behind us?"

Kebineng threw the sheep bones in his hand to the mastiff lying on the side, patted the mastiff's head twice, and said: "There is the son of the Han general in the city... so the Han people will definitely send troops. Rescue..."

"The Han people are very cunning..." Fu Luohan shook his head and said, "I heard that the Han general has several sons...here is only one son...The Han people should also know that if they come to help, they will probably be attacked by us. , so why did you send it here obediently according to your ideas? If it were me, it’s snowing now and it’s cold in the wild, so we just need to stay tight and not go out. In this way, even if we finally capture Jicheng, You may not have time to explore other places..."

Kebi Neng waved his hand and said: "The Han people are different. They attach great importance to their heirs... so we must come back. Don't worry. Even if we can only capture Jicheng in the end, the things we have collected from the surrounding areas in these days are enough for us to be comfortable." You've spent the winter comfortably, haven't you? I'm afraid you can't even fit the things and women in your tent, right?"

"Hahaha..." Fu Luohan raised his head and laughed, "Who would dislike a woman with less wealth? That is definitely not a man! What I mean is that if the Han reinforcements don't come, we can divide more teams and go out to the surrounding areas. Find other villages and towns..."

Kebineng pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "We can't disperse. These men must be kept. If reinforcements from the Han come, our sons are all outside. Then it won't be a matter of wealth!"

Fu Luohan frowned and glanced at Ke Bineng, frowning very unhappy. For the sake of the coalition forces, he came over to discuss with Kebineng, but the result was good. Kebineng disagreed with this, and he couldn't agree with that. He didn't give any face at all, which made Fulohan lose his face.

Ke Bi Neng glanced at Fu Luohan and said with a smile: "How about this? After we capture Jicheng, how about you pick 10% of all the items harvested in the city?"

"Twenty percent!" Fu Luohan stretched out two fingers and said decisively immediately.

Kebineng shook his head and said: "No, I'll let you take it all. What will happen to the rest of the sons? At most, it can only be 15%!"

"Well..." Fu Luohan pondered for a moment, and finally agreed, and then he smiled broadly, "Okay, 15%, 15%!"

After all, Jicheng has not yet been conquered, so it is impossible for everyone to get drunk at the banquet. That’s what it means. After Kebineng sent Fu Luohan away, he said to his guard and confidant: " Have you sent it to that woman named? By the way, what is that person called, cured meat?"

"Haha..." The guard couldn't hold it back and laughed, "It's not bacon, it's called Yan Rou... I haven't given it to you yet. I said, Your Majesty, just give me two at will. Do you want to give me two good ones?" Does that kid have that kind of luck..."

Kebi Neng turned his face, slapped the guard on the back of the head, and said: "Damn it, just go and send it to me if you are told, what's the point of whining!"

"No... Your Majesty, I mean, that boy is from Wuhuan..." the guard explained quickly.

"I know he is from Wuhuan... But what happened to the Wuhuan people? Can you beat him?" Kebi Neng kicked the guard on the butt, "Get out of here, don't listen to me, be careful with me Once I peel off your skin, it will be useless for your sister to cry again! Remember, we are people who want to do big things, don’t be so damn petty and act like whoever..."

Seeing that Ke Bineng had made up his mind, the guard responded and turned around to go out.

Kebi Neng put his hands on his hips and glanced at Jicheng in the distance, and then at Fulohan's camp on the other side. He smiled coldly, then looked up at the sky. After being silent for a long time, he looked towards A puff of white smoke blew out of the sky, and I watched the white smoke gradually mix with scattered snowflakes and gradually dissipate.

Kebineng was huge, with curly beard and hair. He stood with his arms akimbo and his mouth raised to the sky. It made people feel like a glutton squatting on the ground, with its bloody mouth exposed and ready to swallow the sky...
